Time To Impose Minimum Standards for LP's

Many Audiogon Members have invested substantial sums in acquiring high-end Turntables, Tonearms, and Cartridges. It seems appropriate that sellers of vinyl records should consider that fact before they list records for sale. Damaged records are not playable, IMO, on any Audiophile Turntable. Personally, I will not play a record that is a "7 out of 10" on the Audiogon scale. Nor will I resell such a record. It is destined for the round file in the corner. Yet today on Audiogon there are records offered which are rated at "3 out of 10" and which are described as damaged but "too good to throw away". Please save the junk for some other venue, or yardsale. Perhaps it's time for Audiogon to impose minimum standards for Sellers of music. Because the listing is free is not a legitimate reason to offer junk on this site.

I find myself buying albums from a handful of the same sellers because of their accuracy and rarity of their offerings.
The Agoners you see selling on a regular basis seem to be the best at grading and tend to have excellent communication in regards to any issues

Most of the choice albums are in the 10-30 range on average with rare stuff escalating from there

Stay away from 3.00 albums and you'll most likely do well
